The mission of American Indian Community House (AICH) is to improve and promote the well-being of the American Indian Community and to increase the visibility of American Indian cultures in an urban setting in order to cultivate awareness, understanding and respect. AICH is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization serving the needs of Native Americans residing in New York City and was founded in 1969. We are welcoming community members to join the 50 Winters project so they can work on it together. Bringing in youth for the project allows them to witness the importance of knowledge keeping as they work to create initial images for the project. Throughout the process, we are going to be documenting the project through video, capturing not only the details of the process but also the stories behind the images that are representing the last fifty years. The videos produced will be for sharing with the AICH community and beyond through online platforms like YouTube.
